See Lyndachs's bargain pegs ........ this is what I have done with mine - using the Anita's laser stickers -





This is what they looked like before - from Poundland.



I've turned mine into mini fridge peg magnets - but would look just as nice kept on the thread as a card holder, as they were intended.

I got this beautiful satin pillowcase for £1 from our local market , it was in a bin of odds and ends - I have glued clear flat backed gems onto it ..... and will be putting my daughter in laws presents in it for Christmas Day! It will look gorgeous under the tree!

I have been to the pound shop today and bought some 3d plastic stickers, 2 sheets for, well you guessed it. Very similar to the Anita ones Flyingpig has used for you beautiful pegs.

gorgeous pillowcase, and talking of gems, im going through hundreds at the moment, and its costing me a loads. Does anyone know where i can get them at a really good price.I prefer the self adhesive ones. Thanks

Not sure if you have a Works shop near you, but a couple of weeks ago, I found these in the Works for 59p a pack. They do them in 4 colours - clear, blue, pink and purple, they come on a sheet with some glue one, I just pick them off and add a bit more glue (just to make sure they stick) and use them on cards. When I went in at the weekend, they had new ones that had a back cover to that I think were 59p a pack, and they had clear and red; and clear and blue.

I too have the phone gem packs however I also have Anitas gem wheels. they are NOT self adhesive but at £2.99 a wheel theya re a good buy though better savings on ebay oversea sellers if you have time to wait.
Above wheels are also for sale in tesco i noticed just the other day so do check there too.

hi all, loving all your makes, i will put mine up when i get a minute.

does anyone use felt? i am thinking on making some felt puppets. i popped into my local fabric shop and it is all £6 a metre (im sure it was £3.99 a few weeks ago) is £6 a metre good value or can i get it cheaper?

Evening ladies. Can I ask if anyone knows if the 2" woodware scallop circle punch will fit in the pretzel bags and if the 1.5" circle punch looks too odd on the top of the scallop? I have stupidly managed to lose my cutting mat for my robo! If anyone has any pictures of the above punches layered that they could share please?

Rusty i haven't tried them but the bags are only 2" wide flattened out so with a mint between and another scallop on the back you may struggle. If i can find my 2" punch i'll try it .
